Tapeworms Inspire Medical Device Created During Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship
Olivia LaFond, a Carnegie Mellon University senior majoring in biomedical and chemical engineering, created a 3D-printed device based on tapeworms designed to attach to the small intestine and deliver sensors or modular treatments over time.
Pittsburgh Showcases the Next Era of Real-World AI with $1.275M Startup Prize and Draft Week Showcase
As the Draft brings national and global attention to Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, in partnership with the AI Strike Team and Pittsburgh Steelers will host a national showcase highlighting the next era of AI systems designed to operate in the real world, at scale.
CMU’s Robotics Innovation Center Fuels Pittsburgh’s New Economic Renaissance
Carnegie Mellon University marked the official opening of the Robotics Innovation Center (RIC), which will advance its world-leading collaborative ecosystem for robotics, automation and artificial intelligence research and development.
Pennsylvania Invests in CMU Project to Advance Physical AI Innovation
Gov. Josh Shapiro announced Pennsylvania will invest in CMU's plan to develop a new 25,000‑square‑foot Physical AI Accelerator inside the CMU Robotics Innovation Center at Hazelwood Green.
SURF Project Scales New Heights in Rescue Robotics
When Leo Wang arrived at Carnegie Mellon University from Hong Kong, he was already fascinated by robots. But it wasn’t until he joined the Robomechanics Lab led by Aaron Johnson that his interest evolved into a mission: to teach quadrupedal robots to climb steep terrain using reinforcement learning.
Neurosurgeons Are Really Good at Removing Brain Tumors, and They’re About To Get Even Better
A study published in the journal Science Advances details a promising, new avenue toward improving awake brain mapping results by investigating the tiny, nearly imperceptible variabilities in patient behavior that occur during the procedure. This work led by Carnegie Mellon University researchers points to a future where brain surgeries are not just safer, but more precisely tailored to protect each patient’s speech, movement and quality of life.
CMU Health Startups That Could Improve Patient Care
Meet four CMU-affiliated startups that are translating academic research into tools that could improve health care for millions of Americans.
How CMU Built a World-Leading Robotics Ecosystem
From the depths of the ocean to the craters of the moon, Carnegie Mellon University has spent more than 40 years designing robots for the most extreme environments. On Feb. 27, the university will open the Robotics Innovation Center (RIC), a 150,000-square-foot facility built to scale that research for the next generation of autonomous systems.
CMU’s Robotics Innovation Center Propels Research from Deep Sea to Space
The spaces inside the new 150,000-square-foot Robotics Innovation Center will allow for both faculty and students to work side-by-side to pursue those opportunities.
Lifesaving Search-and-Rescue Robots Expand Testing Grounds at New CMU Facility
Downed power lines, flooding and collapsed buildings are dangerous obstacles emergency responders must navigate when searching for survivors of catastrophic events. But robots that can overcome these challenges could save lives without putting human rescuers at risk.
CMU’s Off-Road Robots Improve Efficiency and Human Safety at Industrial Sites and Farms
On industrial sites and large farms, critical work often happens in fields, hillsides and overgrown areas that are difficult or dangerous for people to access. CMU researchers are developing off-road robots designed to navigate those environments and take on tasks that put human workers at risk.
CMU’s Robotics Innovation Center Secures FieldAI as Inaugural Corporate Tenant
Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Innovation Center has secured its first corporate tenant, bringing the high-growth robotics unicorn FieldAI to the university’s new research facility at Hazelwood Green.
